When the PS3 and Xbox 360 came out I had actually been on a hiatus from gaming because of career and marriage (life was way too busy). I mainly bought the PS3 to take advantage of the Blu-Ray player. I had just picked up a 65 inch HD tv and was ready to use it to its full potential. The PS3 came out a few months after the $1000 Blu-ray players so I waited it out and picked one up on day one. The 360 I picked up because it was an intriguing console. I had missed out on the first Xbox and had heard good things about Microsoft and what they brought to the console field.

I ended up loving both consoles especially after Sony finally got their online setup fixed.

No way is either console boring. Xbox 360 revolutionized online gaming in that time period. Sony revolutionized digital gaming with PlayStation Plus. I'm glad to have been so active in those years they were fun!

Has anyone mentioned yet, that Xbox 360 and PS3 are definitely not classic gaming?

"Pretty much anything pre-Current Gen fits in here" I think that the 360/PS3/Wii fit in that description now especially since we are on the 3rd/4th year of this console cycle. not to mention we are already in talks about a successor to the Xbone & Wii U coming next year.

Well, I personally won't ever consider anything 5th gen or beyond to be classic. Aging maybe, but it'll always be far removed from the origins of mainstream console gaming, despite how old it may eventually get.

Same here I would never consider anything after 5th gen to be classic gaming.

Except Dreamcast wich is 6st gen but it was 2 years 1998 older earlier than all the other systems even though 6th gen. Furthermore to much classic gaming goodness 2D fighting games and shoot em ups.

Gamecube xbox ps2 etc not that much, also in my eyes wii, xbox 360 and ps3 and onwards will never be considered retro even though it being old since the games are way to different.

I think some different terms will be used when allot of time has passed since i don't think the term retro or classic gaming will suffice on consoles such as the ps3 xbox 360 and pre gen.
